Startup Showcase Techstars Columbus
About this event
Techstars Columbus Powered by The Ohio State University Startup Showcase is the first public reveal of our Fall 2026 cohort.
Nine companies from around the globe are spending this fall in Columbus building in critical industries like robotics, semiconductors, advanced materials, defense and manufacturing.
You'll hear short pitches from each company and the opportunity to network with them and the local mentors, investors, and supporters who have helped drive their growth during our program.
This is our fifth Techstars Columbus program and we've now backed 51 companies in the past 3 years. Our portfolio companies have raised over $40m in that time and have a combined market cap of over $270m, making this program one of the most impactful in the state. This is your chance to meet and network with the most recent group of exceptional companies.
